My Oddball LSD setup, oil ?
Just wanted some opinions on what oil to run in my freshly built transaxle with finnish racing gears and a one off special BMW e30 m3 Limited slip differential . Custom-made sidecovers and much more. not the best looking transaxle around but should be able to cope with all the abuse i plan to put it through

Can you buy Castrol LSX90 locally?
Adapting a 10-bolt BMW LSD would have been a real chore .. did you take any photos during the process?

Ah. This setup was built by a Finnish man living in sweden about 10 years ago. The only modifications that i know of to the differential is changing of boltpatterns for ring-gear and some minor clearancing, the rest is in the custom side-plates.
I do not have any pictures of it going together as i let my gearbox-guru that was part of the development of this kit (5 known in existence) was the one who put it together.
The differential itself is out of a 168mm unit as far as i know. the rest is custom or modified ....
Is lsx90 the only suggestion so far ? Locally i have been recommended valvoline hypoid oil from a friend running a 091 also with finnish rally gears but with a quaife diff instead.
